I love these things, personally. I just got a Kenwood car stereo mp3-cd player for christmas from my wife.

The only bad thing about these mp3-cd players that i've found is that most players only support 8.3 character filenames. All of my mp3's filenames I burn begin with the bands name, and player sorts files in alphabetical order. The net result of this is that all of your albums will be played in reverse order. The way to avoid this, I think, is to put a number at the beginning of all the filenames so that it doesn't get truncated. I usually just live with having it on random, though, as it would probably take months to go back and fix my 40+ mp3-cds.
